how to operate it. Maintain the machine in accordance

with the instructions to make sure it functions properly.

Keep this manual and the enclosed documentation with

the machine.

When using electric machines always observe the

safety regulations applicable in your country to

reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal

injury. Read the following safety instructions and

also the enclosed safety instructions.

SPECIAL SAFETY RULES

• Arc welding produces sparks and fused metal projec-

tiles and fumes: remove all flammable substances and

materials from work area.

• Provide adequate ventilation of facilities where wel-

ding takes place. Arc welding emits fumes which can

be dangerous.

• Do not weld on containers or pipes which hold or

have held flammable liquid or gaseous combustibles

(danger of explosions and/or fires) or on materials

cleaned with chlorinated solvents or on varnished

surface (danger of toxic fumes).

• Make sure connection is correct from welder to sup-

ply (mains connection). Any electric shock received

is potentially lethal.

• Avoid stretching the supply cable; unplug before

moving machine.

• Keep welding cables, elektrode holder and work

clamp in good condition; wearing out of isolation and

structural parts carrying current is DANGEROUS

and results in poor welding quality.

• Avoid direct contact with welding circuit. The no-

load voltage between collet and work clamp can be

dangerous.

• Do not use the machine in damp or wet places and do

not weld in the rain.

• Always protect your eyes with the fitting glasses

(grade DIN 9 - 10) equipped with this machine.

• Use gloves and proper protective clothing which are

dry and not soiled by oil or grease.

• Avoid exposing skin to the ultraviolet rays produced

by the arc. The light radiation produced by the arc can

damage eyesight and cause burns on the skin.

• This welder is automatically protected from thermic

overheating (thermostat automatic re-start). When

the windings reach performance temperature, the

protection cuts off the supply circuit. After a few

minutes cooling the protection will reopen the sup-

ply line. The welder is ready for further use.

• When you’re scaling off the welding slack, protect

yourself from the hot iron by using eyeprotection

and gloves.

• The workpiece can misform during cooling off. Take

care.

IMMEDIATELY SWITCH OFF THE MACHINE

IN CASE OF:

• Malfunction of the mainsplug, -socket or damaged

cables.

• Broken switch.

• Smoke or smell caused by scorched insulation.

MAKE SURE THESE SAFETY RULES ARE NOT

BROKEN, OTHERWISE THE GUARANTEE PROVI-

SIONS WILL BE CANCELLED.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always check that the mains voltage corresponds

to the voltage on the rating plate.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they

have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert

the plug of a loose cable in the wall socket.

Connect to the mains cable a standardized plug of ade-

quate capacity to which the yellow/green conductor of

the cable is to be connected. Set a standardized plug

equipped with fuses or an automatic switch; the correct

terminal is to be grounded to the distribution mains. Use

fuses of 16 Ampère Slow as a minimum.

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they

have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert

the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the

power input of the machine. The minimum conductor

size is 1.5 mm

2

. When using a cable reel always unwind

the reel completely.

BEFORE OPERATING THE

MACHINE

EXECUTION OF WELD

Fig.A

After carrying out all electrical connections necessary

both on mains and welding circuits proceed in the follo-

wing way. Arc welding with an elektric welding machine

is a method in which the warmth is delivered by the arc.

This arc is made between the electrode and the work-

piece.

NB: Before carrying out difficult welds do a practise run,

only practice will allow you to obtain a neat and durable

weld.

The temperature of the arc is 4000° Celsius what makes

the electrode and the workpiece melt. As long as the arc

is maintained the electrode will melt and it will supply the

material for the connection.

The distance between the electrode and the workpiece

must be 1.5 - 4 mm, depending on the diameter of the

electrode and the material it is made of. The required

welding current is supplied by the welding machine. The

required capacity of the welding machine depends on the

connections to be made.

THE ELECTRODE

The electrode consists of an iron core with cover. This

cover consists partly of irondust. While welding the

cover will melt and it will vapor. This way a gas surrounds

the welding area protecting the melted iron from oxygen

in the air. Some parts of the cover will floot on the melted

iron (it is of less weight than the iron) and it will protect

the iron while cooling off. After cooling this cover can be

removed easily by a scaling hammer or steelbrush. Make

sure the cover of the electrode is not incapsulated by the

iron. This would make an unreliable connection.

Treat the electrodes with caution. The cover can be

damaged and this will make the welding very diffi-

cult. Make sure the electrodes are stored cool and dry.

Choice of the electrode

To make a good connection it is important to choose the

right electrode. Also the position in which you have to

make the connection, for example above your head, is

important while choosing the electrode. A normal elek-

trode can do most ordinary welding jobs.

Electrodes are available in three types:

1. Fast solidification

The cover consists of a lot organic material, which

give a good gasprotection. It can be used in all kinds of

positions, specially for vertical, downgoing connec-

tions.

2. Medium solidification

The cover consists of a lot organic material. Good

welding in all positions except vertical, downgoing

connections. They are useful for vertical, upgoing

connections.

4 Ferm

3. Slow solidification

The cover is thicker than the other two types and

consists less organic material. Thick compact slack.

The meltingbath is very thin liquid. Connections

most of the time in horizontal direction. For welding

aluminium and stainless steel special electrode are

available. Ask for advice from your local Ferm-dealer.

PERFORMANCE

The performance of this welder may be expressed by the

number of electrodes : nc and nh.

nc: Refers to the number of electrodes which may be

welded when the welder commences at room tempera-

ture until the thermostat intervenes.

nh: Refers to the AVERAGE VALUE of the number of

electrodes which may be welded between re-start and

intervention of thermostat, in the first hour of use.

WELDINGCURRENT

By turning the wheel clockwise the current is increased.

By turning the wheel counter-clockwise the current is

decreased. The value of the current (I2) may be read on

the graduated scale on the upper panel and corresponds

to the voltage of the arc (U2) according to the equation

U2(V)=18 + 0,04 x I2 (EN 50060). When you’re using

long extension cables, the current is reduced considera-

bly. The required current also depends on the size of the

workpiece. Small workpieces require a smaller current.

OPERATING THE MACHINE

COLLET CABLE

This has a special clamp on the terminal to attach to the

exposed part of the electrode.

WORK CABLE

This must be directly connected to the workpiece or the

work bench.

Make sure contact to workpiece is adequate by

avoiding varnished surfaces and/or non-metallic

materials.

PROTECTIVE MASK

Fig.B

This must ALWAYS be used during welding and protects

the eyes from the light radiation produced by the arc.

The mask alows observation of the welding being carried

out.

1. Mask

2. Glass

3. Filter

4. Handgrip

Assemble the welding glass and the cover glass,

before you begin to weld.

Never look directly into the arc without the use of a protective

mask.

SCALING HAMMER

With this hammer the slack of the welded connection

can be removed. Do not hit too hard, otherwise the con-

nection will be damaged. Always use safety glasses.

STEELBRUSH

With this steelbrush you can remove rust before atta-

ching the work cable to the workpiece or to remove the

slack after welding.

WELDING

Fig.D

• Insert the exposed part of the electrode into the col-

let and connect the work clamp to the welding piece

taking care that electric contact is good.

• Turn on welder and regulate welding current in func-

tion of the electrode in use.

• Holding the mask IN FRONT OF FACE stroke the

electrode point on the workpiece as if striking a

match. This is the most correct method for striking

the arc.

Don’t hit the electrode on the workpiece, which will

damage the stick electrode and make arc strike-up

difficult.

• Immediately after arc strike up try to maintain a dis-

tance from the workpiece which is equivalent to the

diameter of the electrode used. Maintain this dis-

tance as constantly as possible during the weld,

remember that the inclination of the electrode to the

advancement must be 20° - 30°.

Always use pliers to remove consumed electrodes

or to move welded pieces.

MALFUNCTION

Below we have listed a number of possible causes and

corresponding solutions in case the machine does not

function as it should:

When the welding machine doesn’t function,

check the following

• The thermal fuse is disconnected.

• The fuse is defect (mains).

• The work cable is not connected with the workpiece.

• The collet or work cable or the mains supply is dama-

ged.

MAINTENANCE

Make sure that the machine is not live when car-

rying out maintenance work on the motor.

The Ferm machines have been designed to operate over

a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.

Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon pro-

per machine care and regular cleaning.

Cleaning

Keep the ventilation slots of the machine clean to pre-

vent overheating.

Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth,

preferably after each use. Keep the ventilation slots free

from dust and dirt.

Faults

Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please con-

tact your local Ferm dealer.

In the back of this manual you find an exploded view

showing the parts that can be ordered.

ENVIRONMENT

In order to prevent the machine from damage during

transport, it is delivered in a sturdy packaging. Most of

the packaging materials can be recycled. Take these

materials to the appropriate recycling locations.

Take your unwanted machines to your local Ferm-

dealer. Here they will be disposed of in an environmen-

tally safe way.
